if there is no speed limit on the other lakes.:ernaehrung004: maybe we should go to lake winnisquam and run all the large boats there.:evilb:

Must really suck to own a place on the lake, own an OL or Nortec and barely get to bring it on plane! At least the boats look as good sitting still as they do running speed! God damn tree huggers and canoe lovers! :angry-smiley-038:

Are there any lawyers on this board? I would think this would be something you could sue the state over. 45MPH on a lake that size, come on! :mad:

Look at this:

http://www.winnipesaukee.com/forums/...splay.php?f=19

Close to 100 threads and the arguments that went into it....

The attorneys will be involved when people start getting cited. Instead of just a fine, it actually is attached like a normal ticket to your MVR!! How many people are going to be fighting those and burning more taxpayers dollars? :angry-smiley-038::mad::angry-smiley-038:

WOW, I didnt think it was that involved, I guess I just don't undertstand it. The way I see it is you have two major issues, Drunk driving and the kayak and canoe people!

1. Drunk Drivers: How is this any different then drunk drivers on the road? If the fix was to reduce the speed limit everytime some gets killed in a drunk driving accident by car then we would all be walking! How come they think that will solve anything? A 10,000lb boat traveling 45MPH will do as much damage to a boat half it's size as it would traveling 60MPH

2. The Kayak and canoe people: Do they really belong in the middle of the lake in a craft that size anyway? If a kayak is 2-3 miles offshore in the ocean and they get swamped by a fishing vessel do you think they are going to enforce a speed limit, my guess is they would say "do you really belong in a craft that small that far offshore?"

I am sure these things have all been discussed earlier in this thread but it just boggles my mind! I have lived in NH my whole life and I would have to say this is embarrasing. I knew there was a reason I always boat on Sebago!(though that lake may not be safe too much longer either :mad: )

How is Sebago looking? I bet you still have major snow!

It's been a long winter!

Sabego is mostly out. Some stuff in the bays from were the wind blows into but last time past Jordan Bay on Thursday there was only about 200 yards of ice at the 302 end becuase the wind was blowing it up that way. Brandy and Long lake are still looking like big slush puppies. Still piles of snow were the plow puts it but most of the snow is gone!!!! BRING ON THE WARM!!!!!
